No promises, but I'll try to at least talk to him beforehand. "If" is kind of a big thing when it comes to Battler listening.
[...w...wait, what?
was he really hearing this right?
he thought for sure that yuri would always be on his side, would support him, but then she said she would be on the opposing side this time and he simply stared at her. he didn't really know what to say, and if he was conflicted before then he was definitely feeling it now.
all he wanted was for her to be happy... and so... what he wanted to do... was it really that horrible?]
....But... [his voice was just a whisper.] ...she has a grudge against Eva Oba-san, she's looking to blame someone, she won't accept just anything and sh.....she might just kill herself...
[he frowned further, his gaze looking down now, he almost looked pained.]

Battler, do you remember how upset I was after Naoi tried to rewrite my memories even if it would've made me happy? Or how upset you were when I wouldn't tell you why I tried to stop you from hurting Beatrice? Or even when I tried to hide that I was worried about Ange going missing, you were pissed at me for trying to lock that post from you. [ Lies of omission and hiding things count, too. ]
You're the big bad sorcerer, so you have to hide things from me. I get it. But if this game is really about Ange feeling better and not about you, then find a way to do it that doesn't involve lying to her.
[ Yuri's voice holds no sense of hesitation, practically berating him for this. She sounds confident. ]
I told Eva-Beatrice that I trusted you with this whole thing, that I wouldn't tell you to let her die or to just give into her wishes to end it or anything.
[ Yuri's expression softens a little as she looks to the side, her tone changing just a bit. ]
How is anyone supposed to trust a liar? Especially if it falls apart, then the one thing that she has left-- a brother who cares about her and wouldn't treat her like she's just some stupid kid who'll fall for anything she says, is gone. You promised her you'd show her the truth, didn't you? [ Ange told her that much too. ] How am I supposed to trust you if even your own sister can honestly believe that when I know you're not planning to?

Aren't you scared though? I know your deepest darkest top secret that you're not 100% a horrible person, I might actually tell someone.
[ She figures she might as well joke a little to end the conversation on a good note. It's better to do that than to go into something feeling like something bad's going to happen. ]

[he listens to her carefully, understanding what she's saying, and yet at the same time he's far too stubborn to fully give in. he thinks this is the only way, it's all he can see, and he knows at the same time that it's wrong but he doesn't think there's any other option. especially since eva beatrice told him to let ange go, to let her die if she wanted to, and no that's no good, no good at all, he simply won't allow that at all.
they've been through too much, she has so much to live for, she has to realize that, and if lying to her is the only option then so be it. he'll offer her a key at the end of their journey and ask her to choose a door. everything that happened, was it magic? will she let the magic live on in her heart, or will she still say it was all a lie, a trick, and that's all this had ever been? whatever she chooses it's her destiny, that's what he'll allow from her.
but the journey is for him to decide.]
The truth will kill her.
[he brought a hand up to his face, covering it for the time being, not wanting to look at her, actually feeling ashamed for what he's about to do. he had listened to her, to the entire community before, about how he was being a jerk and not acting like himself and he had listened, had forced himself to become what he was before during his battle with the witch.]
I'm sorry....

You know I don't give a damn about that stupid red magic stuff. I already know that there's always loopholes in everything, I learned that much from you.
[ Yuri knew he felt bad about it. But feeling bad about doing the wrong thing and actually doing the right thing were different. Part of her.. definitely wants to comfort him. To tell him it'll be okay and that she still loves him, but she knows that'll just end up with him not taking her words seriously. ]
I'll stay here and I'll still find a way to save you, but as long as you're thinking like that I can't trust you.

Thanks, even if that was somehow a bit creepy to get luck from you..

[what more can be said here? she doesn't trust him anymore, she won't believe in him, she's not on his side at all, and to top it off she said she'll still stay here and save him but there's no way she'll go back to trusting him. it was all like a punch in the face, and he didn't know what to do.
he looked back up at her, the nodded about all that, turning around and walking back the way he came.]
Like I said before, I don't mind being the bad guy if it means protecting those I love. If that's how you feel then so be it.

[ It hurt a little that despite everything, it wasn't that he was going to back down or reconsider her opinion at all. That he was more than content to lie to her than consider other possibilities. She couldn't talk, of course, considering that she tended to close herself off from other when she thought she had to do the right thing but..
She'd never outright ignored what the others had to say. Certainly not what Battler had to say. "So be it" was about as dismissive as you could get, and that was a bit painful to hear. ]
This is going to bite you in the ass, Battler.
[ And not just because of her. ]

You're going to have to be a little more specific than that. [ Yuri doesn't know where to start. ]
